Hi!
I finally had time today to do a few modifications such as putting flush turn signals on front, shorter turn signals on back and cutting off the fender...

After the modifications, I gave the bike a nice wash and drove to a boba place to get a drink. While I was sitting down a few kids walked by it and one of them told their friends that it was a GSXR :P
Looks good :thumb:
what flush mounts are those on the front? and rear?
Nice... Those are really slick.
now all ya need is the clear tailight from www.clearalternatives.com looks good though.

They are both from Lockhart Phillips:
Part# 122-9752 (Front)
Part# 122-9832 (Back)
You can also read a little about how I did it here:

You have good taste. :mrgreen: 8)
I looked on the website for the part number for the flush mounts and nothing came up. I typed in the name you put on the photobucket website and got these. Lightworks Short Stalk IV LED
are these them?
That's the same way I opted to do my rear fender & signals.
Looks good and I second the clear taillight. I have the same bike and the clear tail makes it look much better w/ the new signals.
:cheers:

Hi,
I don't know if this got sent to you in the private message or now so I'll just respond again:
front:
http://www.parts411.com/acb/showdetl.cfm?&DID=9&Product_ID=59696&CATID=56.0* note that this pair won't cover the hole. It leaves about a cm but it still looks good if you just center it so that that top and bottom space is very little. I saw a nice perfect circle one at a bike shop that would cover the hole completely but I like how these mounts turned out so I won't be changing them anytime soon.
back:
http://street-bikes.ridegear.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.exe/shop/Marker_Lights/F-5359_Short_Stalk_V_Marker_Lights.html?E+scstore* these fit perfectly where I mounted them.
I didn't puchase my parts from those sites (just googled it for ya). I suggest getting black + whatever screen (clear?). I'm not much of a fan for carbon fiber on this bike =/.
You should be able to find these parts and more at your local bike shop. I was just at CycleGear yesturday to get another jacket (firstgear) and they have a lot of things and their customer service is great. Their website is here
http://www.cyclegear.com/ but I suggest giving them a visit if you live in California.

Yah I was looking at those before I got the gs500f. For now I'll probably stick with the solid red tails (clear ones don't seem that nice to me at the moment). I'm going to jet

Thanks for the info. I called lockhart phillips and they gave me a website to order them that ships to Canada. Ordered them yesterday and will be here in a few days. Ill post pics when I get them installed.
